Edge Of Sanity "Infernal"

Infernal is the sixth full-length studio album by the Swedish death metal band Edge of Sanity, released by Black Mark Production on February 5, 1997.

Dan Swanö's other band Nightingale did a cover version of the song "Losing Myself" on their album Nightfall Overture.

Artistic differences between Swanö and Axelsson were one of the main things that pushed the band apart, making Swanö leave after this album (although he did return but by then the band already had split which meant Swanö went by the band name's for the release of Crimson II).

The album is dedicated to long-time member Sami Nerberg who couldn't appear on this recording due to personal problems.
